Posting summaries and letter count

Why not limit the number of letters in the summary box so that we know if we are writing one that is too long? In finding some of my already written summaries on hubs added to other hubs, some of the last words were cut off. So I went back in and re-wrote the summary. This would save time and effort on our part. There is the 500 letter count...but that is obviously too long.

It's unknown whether or not a summary that cuts off on the search engines matters to the searcher.

If it's written to draw attention and it's too long for the search engine, then it running off into ....... at the end might actually work to your advantage, because it would draw the searcher into clicking the link to find out more.

If it's written to a specific length which is fully displayed to the searcher, then you run the risk of the searcher not being interested, because you gave them a complete summary of the contents and it ends in a single period, but if it's written interestingly enough they may click on the link to visit.

Is this common? On the Google results page, just under the title of my hub, Goodle is using the first sentence of the hub instead of the summary. (Yes, the summary is there on the hub, I checked.) Are summaries just...

.. to put in summaries that have no connection with the topic of one's hubs, but is more searched for and of more lucrative keywords?Is it ok? I couldn't find anything related to using deceptive summaries.See this...
